Changing a processor on a laptop usually has an 11/10 difficulty rating: you need to unsolder the proc and solder the new one in. With all due respect, if you can't write a 6-line post with more than one sentence so it's understandable, you won't succeed in changing CPUs...

Moreover, you are mixing up hardware and software limitations: while your motherboard (and BIOS) have a cap on how much RAM can be used, Windows in 32-Bit cannot use more than 3.25Gb of RAM: check your OS, and your Hardware limitations, as the cap may be in the fact that you are running a 32-Bit Windows.

Finally, for the battery: Google is your friend... http://.com/?q=vgn-nr22+battery

If possible, might I recommend actually taking 5 minutes to write an understandable post, might make people actually want to answer you.

Cheers.

 

To be honest I have problems understanding the post too... everything in one sentence, no structure...

Maybe try structuring/defining your question(s) better so that you can get answers...

 

32-bit Windows Vista/7 can use 4 GB RAM less what's memory mapped addresses to hardware, but only exposes a max of 3120 MB to the user.

This is a change from XP, where you would get anything up to 3.7 GB, depending on how much was used for memory mapped device addressing. An average PC would typically show between 3.2 and 3.5 GB.
The cap at 3 GB was probably done to prevent consumer confusion, where two users with the same RAM would see different amounts.
Why 3120 and not the more natural 3072 (=3 GB)? Again, speculation, but the addressing is done in 48 MB chunks, and the extra chunk is simply there so programmers can easily tell whether the system has 3 GB or >3 GB physical memory.

To make it even worse, 3 GB doesn't mean that you can run a 3 GB program. In 32-bit Windows programs, there's a max address space per process of 2 GB. This is true even on 64-bit Windows, as long as you run 32-bit programs.

So if you run 64-bit Windows and 32-bit Photoshop, you won't get much speed benefit from having 8 GB of RAM instead of 3 GB, cause it will only be able to use 2 GB directly.

Anyhow, the days of 32-bit operating systems is gone. Time to move on.
